Hopefully, the status quo of NGOs, teacher unions, etc., indoctrinating leftist zombies will end with accountability.

Trump mentioned using RICO against George Soros.

This guy of indeterminate pronouns (not sure which pronouns with which to address him), didn’t just assassinate a bright speaker, family man and nice guy. These folks celebrating the murder, are not just celebrating another murder. They are most likely celebrating the murder of a future conservative President of the United States!

So now, is the left celebrating the demise of the political process in America?

Hence her statement about any impending shift.

My bet is on the 🦇💩 libs going full potato.

She makes the point that if that is the end result without them retreating, they win. Charlie’s assasination will be glossed over and it will be business as usual.

It was a national celebration that someone had been assassinated.

Recall as well the profound disappointment on the Left that Thomas Crooks did not have better aim.

“Trump mentioned using RICO against George Soros.”

What about the CCP? They’re on every college campus, they donate to the media and they bribe American politicians.

This video seems to have been completed before Charlie’s wife spoke last night...i wonder if that would factor into this analysis

This is because a counter-shift has occurred. A targeted group is no longer tolerating, and is making a shift to retaliate.

The Left is worried.

Some instances but for the most part you’re right.

When they focus on Tyler Robinson, it’s because they’re trying to take the focus off the others involved.

I think the problem is, “we” are too close to one side and haven’t been observant. In her opening comments she says she’s been watching the people - and that the celebrations started to reverse after even just 1 hour. So it would be easy to miss, except for the fact that the internet holds those comments forever - and that’s why we’ve seen a continuous stream of organizations distancing themselves from those remarks and firing those who made them.

One thing I’m watching: It’s been reported that David Ellison has been preparing a bid to acquire Warner Brother which includes CNN and adding it to his Paramount holdings. Will this even trigger him to take CNN in a completely new direction? Think of it as an investor who just wants a return on his money - would you be willing to bet millions on CNN as the anti-Trump and supporter of the people who celebrated Charlie Kirk’s murder?

Another indicator to watch: What will Elon Musk do?

They want to murder their political opponents, but they aren’t the Nazis?

I agree with you and her analysis is only one sided the political left

How about examining the conservative right?.....wheres the arc in that?

“Hopefully, the status quo of NGOs, teacher unions, etc., indoctrinating leftist zombies will end with accountability.

I had never heard of Charlie Kirk. When he was killed, I noticed an instant sea change in the media universe. This was not “just” another school shooting, as they all had become. Ho, hum, another shooting. More politicians robotically calling for gun control. The usual suspects blaming the right. I posted that a PhD. study on political assassinations had determined that not only was the assassin’s goal usually not met, but often the opposite happened. For the first time that I recall, famous media persons were fired instantly. Not put on leave until the bruhaha died down. Fired. So many things are different this time. I think the culture has turned a corner. I think that dressing up as a member of the opposite sex is about to disappear again from public view. The next thing to happen will be a father beating up a man dressed as a woman when the man follows the father’s daughter into a Target bathroom. When that happens and the transvestite gets arrested instead of the father, then the world will have changed back to “normal.”

Agree. Those on the left who realise they need to pull back on the celebrations are not in control. The wack-a-doodle crazies are in control on the left.
